Jennifer Wilson
Jennifer Wilson is a DBT therapist specializing in helping teens and young adults (ages 14-21) who struggle with common challenges like mood swings, impulsive behavior, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, school avoidance, trauma, substance use, and emotional regulation.
As a Registered Nurse (RN) Psychotherapist with a specialty mental health designation, Jennifer has over 35 years of experience working with youth and their families in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric hospital settings. She brings extensive crisis intervention and mental health treatment expertise to inform her practice. She is one of the few therapists in London with comprehensive Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) training and has been practicing DBT for 20 years.
Some teens and young adults present with challenging, high-risk, or harmful behaviours, particularly when struggling with impulsive decision-making and intense emotional experiences. Using a DBT-trained approach, Jennifer helps young people to understand their unique challenges and strengths, figure out what they need, support their path toward their own goals, and build a life worth living. Teens, young adults, and families learn mindfulness practice, validation, self care, new coping strategies and problem-solving skills—tools that can help emotionally reactive individuals respond to others and situations more effectively.
Jennifer understands that emotional issues and coping difficulties during adolescence and young adulthood can be significant barriers to functioning and thriving through this critical growth period. Early intervention to assess needs and receive appropriate help is key to changing problematic symptoms and patterns.
Jennifer's approach is person-centered, flexible, holistic, and strength-based, rooted within trauma-informed, neurodivergent- friendly and gender-affirming care. She engages in authentic relationships with clients and families, assisting youth to identify and understand emerging or ongoing mental health struggles and make meaningful changes toward their own fulfilling life path.
Jennifer is registered with GreenShield. InnerWorks can direct bill most plans.
